Bug#907838: RFS: 2 pkgs once part of emacs-goodies-el: bm-el/201808-1, mutt-alias-el/1.5-1



Hi Chris,

Thank you for sponsoring this upload!  Also, thank you for these
comments and critique.  By the way, replies to these RFSs are
automatically CCed to debian-mentors@d.o

If you would still prefer that I not reply post-RFS, please let me
know and I'll stop :-)  All but two points have been addressed in my
local copies.  Response to these follows:

ACK, will do.  I estimate a max of a half dozen emacs-goodies-el
related RFSs in the next week.

Personally, I agree.  The specifics are:

  bm.el: 2000-2015
  bm-sync.el: 2016
  bm-tests.el: no header, could be potentially 2000-2018.
   * git blame shows a 2013-2015 range.

Sean (from the Policy and Emacsen Team) prefers more strict, discrete
Copyright dates rather than globby ranges.  To be maximally strict
requires a Files section for bm.el as well, but other Emacsen Team
members ACKed merging it into "Files: *".

What approach would you prefer for future RFSs?

Cheers,
Nicholas
